After renewing Harden s contract, the Clippers sign two more! The champion center is upgraded to 15 rosters + Paul 2 chooses 1 to reunite

After renewing Harden's contract with $81.5 million in 2 years, the Clippers signed two more consecutive contracts on the first day of the free market! Center Daluo won the championship in 1800 in 2 years and successfully upgraded to the 15 roster. At the same time, Paul chose 1 in 2 and was very likely to reunite with Harden in his old club Clippers.

2-year 18 million signings for Daluo

According to ESPN reporter Shams, the Clippers and Brooke Lopez reached a two-year contract worth $18 million.

As the champion center, Daluo is one of the best space-type insiders in the free market this summer. After joining, it will greatly improve the diversity of the Clippers' lineup.

Dalou played 80 games for the Bucks in the 24-25 season, averaged 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.9 blocks, and an all-around data, with an overall shooting percentage of 50.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.3%.

However, after entering the playoffs, Daluo's performance declined severely, with averaging data shrinking to 5 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.2 steals and 1 block, with a shooting percentage dropping to 36.4%, and a three-point shooting percentage of only 26.7%. What's worse is that as we grow older, Daluo's shortcomings in slow pace on the defensive end are infinitely amplified, which is also the main reason why the Bucks did not renew his contract.

But for the Clippers, these shortcomings are not a big problem, because the team signed Daluo with just a two-year, $18 million contract, which is a very cost-effective one.

Secondly, the Clippers will not regard Daluo as a candidate for starting center. After joining the Clippers, Daluo will play a substitute behind Zubac, and the responsibilities they have to bear and the defensive pressure they face will drop significantly.

Clippers' record Joey Linn also followed up to confirm this, pointing out that Da Luo has played the starting role most of his career, but today is different from the past. After joining the Clippers, he will play Zubac's substitute.

Microsco Daman Rangoola also believes that this is a good signing, and bluntly stated that the outside world has exaggerated the decline of Daluo.

"He is indeed no longer a starting center who can play 30 minutes per game, but as a substitute or as a temporary starter, Daluo is still very valuable."

The most important thing is that while completing its own reinforcement, the Clippers also weakened the Lakers in the city, who is also one of the active suitors of Daluo.

famous speaker Skip was surprised by this and lamented that Daluo did not choose to join the Lakers, but signed with the Clippers in the same city, which shows the differences between the management of the two teams.

2 years, 11.5 million yuan renewal Batum

In addition to signing Daluo, according to ESPN reporter Shams, the Clippers also used a two-year, $11.5 million contract to complete the renewal of Batum. The second year of the contract is the team option, which also includes part of the transaction margin.

Previously, Batum rejected the $4.9 million player option and received a slight salary increase after re-signing.

The Clippers' 15-man roster is released, plus the previous two-year contract renewal of Harden, the Clippers have solved the most difficult problem this summer. The current 15-man roster is as follows.

Potential starters: Harden, Dunn, Powell, Ka Jr. and Zubac;

Subs: Jones Jr., Batum, Dalow, Bogdan, Eubanks, Kobe Brown, Jordan Miller and Christie;

2 rookies: Conan Needhauser (Chapter 30) and Kobe Sanders (Chapter 51).

Paul chose one of the next players

Since the offseason has just begun, the Clippers have obviously not completed the lineup adjustment, especially in the inside.

With the signing of Daluo and the selection of young inside Conan Needhausen in the 30th draw, Eubanks is likely to be abandoned by the Clippers.

After Ben Simmons left, the Clippers also needed to introduce another substitute point guard for Harden, and old player Paul became the target of the Clippers.

According to famous reporter Chris Haynes, the battle for Paul has now entered the 2-choice stage, and Paul is hesitating between the two old clubs of the Clippers and the Suns.

In previous reports, many famous reporters revealed that Paul hopes to be closer to home at the end of his career to better accompany his family. Paul's family currently lives in Los Angeles, which makes the Clippers undoubtedly Paul's next choice.
